Understood! When I first visited Yellowstone in the early 90s, I bought a Nikon N90 film camera and got into photography (nothing major, just amateur stuff). When digital cameras started to become popular, I was against them for so many years because I viewed digital photography as "fake"...

As a side note, anybody interested in the 1202 and 1201 alarms they experienced when landing on the moon should Google that (apollo 1202) - there are some good writeups and a couple good YouTube videos that explain it. The more in-depth explanations go into detail on the memory structure of the...

Beautiful plane and photos! I'm curious, having only dabbled in Photoshop a little... would it be possible to use Photoshop to easily make the doors appear closed, or would it still be obvious that part of the image had been modified? Probably more fun just to go up again and get more shots :)

Yep! Every acquisition I've been at, the CEO, founders, and acquiring company all trumpeted what a great thing it was, and how they were going to take a hands-off approach. Six months to a year later, the CEO (and sometimes founders) bailed, and the acquiring company started dismantling...

Those peanuts look like the runts of the litter!

Couldn't have been a millennial. They don't call, only text! :)

I hate tucking shirts in (button-down, or any other kind) so always wear mine untucked unless a work setting demands it. I don't even tuck them in for social events because I don't go to the kinds of social events where tucking a shirt in would be required. I have a general distaste of...

When I started my first job out of college in the early 90s, I really thought I'd find a good place to work and stay there my whole career, because that's just kind of what I was brought up thinking, and how people in my family treated their careers. Took me six years years there before I...

I think I posted this in another thread somewhere, but will repost here, since this is an Apollo thread... If you're interested in the Apollo program, especially some of the hardware and engineering that made it possible, there is a great series of vids on YouTube about some folks restoring an...

Agreed!

Slightly off topic... Any movies you've ever walked out of? Halfway through it (if that much) you said "This movie sucks!" and walked out? I can think of three I've walked out of: Natural Born Killers, Magnolia, and The Thin Red Line. Grabbed my bag of popcorn and walked out.

I'm in IT, with lots of contacts in Silicon Valley, and LinkedIn has been valuable for maintaining a "brand" so that people can keep up with where I'm at and what I'm doing, but it's never directly resulted in me getting a job. I get lots of inquiries from recruiters, but I rarely follow up...

The launch scene from Apollo 13 is one of my favorite movie scenes ever. And that soundtrack matches the scene perfectly.

I guess Red Bull really does give you wings!

My fav cereal (as a kid, I rarely eat cereal anymore) isn't on the list - Count Chocula! I haven't seen him around lately, though. I wonder if the Cap'n got him:

I Googled it, and found it's playing at an IMAX theater in downtown Denver. Might be in other cities, too.

I don't travel for business much anymore, but was just in San Francisco for a weeklong set of meetings, and signed up for Uber for the first time, and I have to say, it was WAY more convenient than I ever remember dealing with hailing taxis. I always used to hate calling for a taxi, explaining...

I don't own an EV, but have been following Tesla for a while. Musk's antics aside, I've always been impressed with the product, and their business model, and I do think they spurred some serious research and competition in alternatives to ICE vehicles, so in that regard, I hope they're...

Ok, so far I've spent about 30 minutes surfing this guy's site and looking over his comics. LOL - I gotta bookmark this for later.

My first home computer was an Atari 400 with cassette (most fun game on tape I had was SCRAM), but what I really enjoyed was playing the cartridge version of Star Raiders. No telling how many hundreds of hours I spent playing Star Raiders. After that it was an Apple //e - most fun games on...
